The seventh accuser said Franken approached her after her boss left the studio, and she had to “duck” to avoid the radio host’s lips.

The woman, whom Politico did not name, said that Franken told her the unwanted advance was his “right as an entertainer.” Franken had stood between her and the door, she said.

“It was very quick and I think my brain had to work really hard to be like ‘Wait, what is happening?’” she told Politico. “But I knew whatever was happening was not right and I ducked.”

The Politico story notes that “two former colleagues of the woman independently corroborated her version of events, including Franken telling her he had the right to try to kiss her because he was ‘an entertainer.’”

In a statement provided to HuffPost, Franken said the story was “categorically not true” and “the idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous.”

The Senate Ethics Committee announced last week it plans to investigate the mounting sexual misconduct allegations against Franken, who was elected to the Senate in 2008. A corresponding committee in the House had opened an investigation against Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), who abruptly announced his retirement on Tuesday amid numerous sexual harassment accusations.

DuPuy, the eighth accuser, said that Franken, then a senator, squeezed her waist while she posed for a picture with him. The gesture was “inappropriate and unwanted,” she wrote.

The women’s stories follow half a dozen similar reports about Franken’s alleged behavior that have been made public over the past month.

Although he swiftly apologized to Tweeden, Franken has taken a different approach with other women’s accusations. He told CNN that he did not remember meeting Menz, and, in a statement issued days later, apologized for making “some women feel badly” over the course of his career.
